Pre-sprouting snow peas, winter peas and sugar snaps
To help them grow more quickly, we pre-sprout them indoors first.

Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap. Then put it in a warm spot.
In the next few days, the peas will swell up. After about 4 days, roots will appear. Once most of the peas have roots, they're ready to sow.
Find a nice spot for your peas
First poke 8 holes in the soil mix - max 3 cm deep: 4 on one side of the trellis and 4 on the other. If you have a few extra, go ahead and add a few more 🙂
![Peultjes zaaien bij het klimrek](https://makkelijke-moestuin-staging.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/29883/voorkiemen-1.jpg)
Cover up the holes and gently press down the soil mix a little. Add water.
And next? Just wait. With some good weather, the plants will look like this in a few weeks:

Winter peas and sugar snaps
They will grow taller than some of your other plants, so choose a square patch at the back of your garden box. If you have a garden box with a trellis, they can go in the row in front of it.
Frost?
If necessary, protect them with a crop cover like the MM-Muts:
